Aaron,
I second Daniels response, and depending on what ryuha you would like to train in, you may well find that the same ryuha is taught in your present location.
This would allow you to go and witness first hand, just what it is you are interested in. It would also allow you to start training now and would provide a good introduction to the Brisbane dojo.
Check out the link to Daniels page, it has many links.
I am living at this time is Sydney and train with Paul Maloney and others in Shinto Muso Ryu Jo. Pauls contacts are on Daniels page. He can put you onto most of the others who practise Jo in this country.
I am also moving up to Brisbane early next year so I maywell meet you sometime.
